So wait, I hold this in my left hand??? 02/02/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages You get one with the console, very light, durable and responsive
Disadvantages For 4 players in a Nunchuk-required game, you need 4 of these bad boys.

INTRO So the Christmas rush and the January Sales are now over. People have realised that they've spent far too much money on products they never realised they needed until just a couple of months ago. One such boom product in particular is the Nintendo Wii, which despite having launched over a year ago, is still difficult to come by and very much in demand with nationwide shortages reported over the festive period. For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a Wii, the first thing that will have struck you is that very peculiar shaped controller that looks like a TV Remote. And what's ... more

Better than throwing a stick 17/05/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages improves certain games
Disadvantages reduces battery life in the Wii remote

The Nintendo Wii has really taken the world of computer gaming by storm. In my opinion this is mainly the result of Nintendo looking at all aspects of gaming as we know it, and putting a completely different angle on it. The Nintendo Wii is not the first console to offer wireless controllers. However the way the user uses the controller and interacts with the games has pushed gaming in a new (albeit more physical) direction. What is the Wii remote? Briefly this is the main controller that you will use when playing games on the Nintendo Wii, it is a wireless controller that senses your ... more

FROM A FRYING PAN TO A GESIAH'S SWORD

Advantages 'Two handed' controller has never been so literal
Disadvantages Drains battery if you haven't invested in rechargable

Nintendo are already popping the corks of their champagne in celebration of a victory in what is known as a 'generation' of console wars against Sony and Microsoft, meaning they are beginning to return to a place in the market that they have not been in since the days of the one system handheld console race or the SNES. The vision that accomplished a victory for Nintendo entirely comes down to the idea of motion sensing and the one of its kind branding the Wii has received. I was one of the lucky few that was able to pick up the Nintendo Wii on release day well over a year ago now, and that ... more

Be A Nintendo Ninja 08/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Makes some games more enjoyable, fits neatly in your hand
Disadvantages Not necessary to buy an extra one, as one comes included with the console

This is a review that I first posted on Dooyoo in January 2009. It appears below basically unedited. There are several reasons why the Nintendo Wii has been one of the most successful video gaming consoles of all time. The most important of these are arguably: a) The games available for this console are aimed at a wide range of audiences - from children to grandparents, from boys to girls, and from casual gamers to die hard fans; and b) the revolutionary motion sensor controllers, which have made video games more than just sitting and pushing buttons. It is for the second reason that I am ... more

Get your nunchuk out! 20/10/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Great add on to expand gameplay.
Disadvantages No option to extend the connecting lead.

As with the Wii remote this Nunchuk controller controls games played on the Nintendo Wii console. It is used actually plugged into the end of the Wii remote. I like this because there is no need to worry about batteries. The cord is long enough for comfortable gaming too. When I bought my Wii console the Wii sports game was included in the bundle, so to be able to play this game I had to invest in two nunchuks! Quite a few games now need the nunchuk in order to play, for example the Wii fit plus needs it for boxing and kung fu, therefore I would say it is a pretty essential piece of hardware ... more

Wiially overpriced, but Wiially adds to the experience 02/02/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Well designed, top quality
Disadvantages Overpriced, minimal variety of controls

The advent of the Nintendo Wii brought with it many new ways to enjoy console games. One such strange method was the concept of having two separate controllers for certain games, using the Wiimote (the main controller) in your dominant hand, and then connecting it to this device, called the Nunchuk, giving you extra options and further controls with your other hand. While it is compulsory to be able to play quite a few games, the Nunchuk is not essential to all Wii games. However, a lot of platform games and shooters will encompass the separate style and differing functions that the Nunchuk ... more

A cool little controller 23/04/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Lightweight and simple to use
Disadvantages None

The Nintendo Wii nunchuk controller is an extra controller which you use along with the regular Nintendo Wii controller to allow you to use both hands to control games. Although there are many games which you are able to play without the nunchuk controller, there are also many which you will not be able to play without it so it is definitely worth getting as they can be picked up for only a couple of pounds. My controller is made from white plastic and is lightweight and comfortable to use. A wire coming from the nunchuk controller plugs in to your regular controller, so it will use the power ... more

Nunchuk... What a Name!
Review with images
07/11/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Great for use with the Wii Remote
Disadvantages Not in as many games as I would like to see

Official Nintendo Wii Nunchuk ** What is a Nunchuk? ** The Nintendo Wii Nunchuk is an accessory to the wii remote for use in selected games. The Nunchuk plugs into the bottom of the wii remote and is held in the opposite hand to the wii remote. When you purchase a Nintendo Wii you will need a Nunchuk to be able to play some but not all games on the Wii. Most Wii bundles come with a Nunchuk included. If you require extra Nunchuk's they can be purchased separately. ** In The Box ** I got my Nunchuk as a Christmas gift about 2 years ago. When I opened it, it was in a white box with a clear piece ... more

A good left hook 25/11/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages good quality
Disadvantages sold seperately to the wii remote

The Nunchuk is a rather unusual word and it has yet to find itself in any dictionary, however it is a vital word to any Nintendo Wii player. The Nunchuk is vital for some games as it allows you to use both hands and has an extra button for different controls. Price and availability The Nintendo Nunchuk costs around £9.99 and is sold separately from the Wii remote. Description The nunchuk is white and fits neatly into the palm of your hand so that your thumb can rest easily on the moveable button on top of it, this rotates round. There are also two other buttons on the nunchuk that are easy to ... more

Nunchuk 03/11/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Makes for more interesting game playing
Disadvantages None

If you are not familiar with the Nintendo Wii then you will probably not have heard of the Nunchuk. No, it's not a funny word or another name for a polo chukka but a Wii remote control that allows you to play games in a different way than just using the regular controller. For example, on the Wii Sports game I believe it is, there is an archery game. With the original controller in one hand and the nunchuk in your other hand the two together work as a bow and arrow which allows you to pull back the bow and shoot the arrow in one swift motion. Pulling back the hand and arm that is holding the ... more
